The Holden Gemini would have to qualify for the worst car particularly this lilac one which seems to uncannily match. Imagine this in the church carpark. The back window blinds give a nice “Shit. Saigon,” atmosphere to the back seat. This embarrassment is actually parked in the staff carpark at Curtin University. If it’s the Vice Chancellor’s we’re really in trouble.
And speaking of Holdens what about this? Is the Sandman good or bad these days? If Curtin’s Vice Chancellor was seen driving this… This one seen in Cannington. No it wasn’t rockin’.
I only have to see a Gemini these days and I begin to have panic attacks. They remind me of the time I was road-raged in Canberra. Admittedly. I was probably a little to blame when I blew a kiss to the three thugs in that blue Gemini for braking hard up my old delicately chromed VW Golf arse and then veering around me in a thoroughly ridiculous manner. However the antics that followed for the next 40 minutes left me in no doubt that I was a marked man. Eventually. I pulled over and they screeched to a halt in front of me. They all got out of that little Gemini and headed towards me with the obvious intention of altering my face in various ways and it was when they were virtually at my door that I executed a sudden U-turn over a concrete median strip and made a successful getaway leaving them shaking their club fists and cursing themselves at their stupidity for falling for that “old one”. I sensibly hid in a Harvey Norman carpark for half an hour to give them plenty of time to find other people to murder and then began to cautiously make my way home. However as luck on their part would have it. 3km down the road as I sat at a red light a distant little Gemini got closer and closer behind me and I prayed it was a little old lady doing meals on wheels. But no and as their faces began to grin berserkly in my rear view mirror like they couldn’t believe their luck and revenge was again possible the kind of shadow that would descend over Wily Coyote’s head descended over me and my car. Twenty minutes later having desperately even driven through front gardens and simultaneously rewriting the Australia Post Handbook for How Not To Deliver Letters. I abandoned my vehicle at an intersection. They had come to a rubber-smoking stop in front of me and for some strange reason in the chaos of battle. I had decided to come to rest 1 centimetre inside their glaringly demonic right tail light. One of them got straight out to bash my window in with his be-plastered arm and presumably remove my head to hang on their aerial. But by now my feet were in control and they flew me out of the opposite door down through trees and bush and back onto the road where I was picked up ashen-faced and panting by a passing good Samaritan. As far as I’m concerned all Geminis should be recalled melted down and turned into walking frames for the elderly. World Wars and Geminis should both serve to remind us of something that should never ever under any circumstances be repeated. Thankyou too Lazyaussie for reminding me to take my medication.
3 FDB. You’ve got me thinking Camira Wagon FDB. With apologies to Apocalypse Now if I was making a film of Conrad’s Heart of Darkness the journey to Kurtz would be made in a Camira Wagon.
I like the blinds. They say “I’m ballsy enough to have blinds in my car - are you?”. Well are you??
And who’s embarrassed by that wonder of Holden engineering the Gemini?
[...] November 28. 2007 by lazyaussie A nice pic from An Anonymous Perthon. Anon didn’t know what category to put it in but I think we can slip this place in Hudson Rd Embleton into worst house and worst architecture don’t you think? Anon was struggling to think of a reason why someone would build a shed perched outside an upstairs window. I think it is a spray booth where you wouldn’t have to get out of bed to respray some gemini panels. [...]
Yeah why not. TGO. Actually there have been several far more hideous cars featured since. I had to move it to “not worst” as it got quite a bit of support. The purple gemini looks pretty easy on the eye compared to the.
